The Elektra Albums 1968 - 1970 = 3 CD Set, Digipak = (CD)
Esoteric Recordings is pleased to announce the release of a newly re-mastered 3 CD set featuring all the albums recorded by Rhinoceros for Elektra Records between 1968 and 1970. The concept of Rhinoceros was a suggestion of celebrated producer Paul A. Rothchild (The Doors, Love, Butterfield Blues Band etc.). Because of his recent success with The Doors, Rothchild was given the freedom by Elektra founder Jac Holzman to suggest projects he felt had merit. With fellow producer Frazier Mohawk (who had been involved with Buffalo Springfield), he decided to assemble a new band from scratch, selecting some of the finest musicians in the Los Angeles area. Following a series of auditions, Rhinoceros came together to rehearse and record their debut album with a line-up of vocalist JOHN FINLEY (ex-Jon & Lee & the Checkmates), guitarist DANNY WEIS (a founder member of Iron Butterfly), keyboard player MICHAEL FONFARA (ex-Electric Flag), guitarist DANNY HASTINGS (briefly involved with Buffalo Springfield), keyboard player & vocalist ALAN GERBER, bassist JERRY PENROD and drummer BILLY MUNDI (once with The Mothers of Invention).
